Also, the Hilliard SAT Ensemble, the British vocal group specializing in both early SAT music and contemporary repertoire, turns 40. We talk to SAT present and former members, and eavesdrop on a rehearsal. SAT Also, as Radio 3 continues the celebrations of Wagner SAT anniversary this weekend, we examine how the composer has SAT been depicted on the screen, big and small, over the last SAT 100 years. And we talk to Stephen Walsh about his book SAT Mussorgsky and his circle, and we review it with Russian SAT experts David Nice and Marina Frolova- Walker. SAT Wagner 200 SAT SAT Rosalyn Tureck SAT SAT Rosalyn Tureck, the High Priestess of Bach as the legendary SAT American pianist and harpsichordist was labelled, was born a SAT century ago and this year also marks ten years since her SAT death. Born in Chicago she was a well-known child prodigy SAT and made her debut at Carnegie Hall playing the Theremin! SAT Tureck’s approach to music wasn’t just a technical one but a SAT philosophical one too. Towards the end of her life she SAT established what’s now known as the Tureck Bach Research SAT Institute. She wrote books on playing Bach, gave televised SAT lecture-recitals and sold out concert halls all over the SAT world playing his solo repertoire – as well as inspiring SAT Glenn Gould. Tom Service assesses Tureck’s legacy with Kevin SAT Kleinmann, a close colleague and friend who is now President SAT of the Tureck Bach Research Institute, Canadian pianist and SAT Bach specialist Angela Hewitt and Misha Donat who produced SAT some of Tureck’s recording sessions for the BBC, along with SAT archive material of Tureck herself. SAT SAT The Hilliard Ensemble SAT SAT For forty years the four men of the Hilliard Ensemble have SAT explored a repertoire that covers almost the entire gamut of SAT Western music from the earliest polyphony of Perotin to SAT contemporary collaborations with Arvo Part and saxophonist SAT Jan Garbarek. After four decades creating a unique SAT performance practice for four-part vocal polyphony, they SAT will retire next year after a celebratory season. Of the SAT current line-up of countertenor, two tenors, and baritone, SAT one of them – David James, the countertenor – has been there SAT since the beginning. Tom reunites David with two of the SAT other founding members – Paul Elliott and Errol Girdlestone SAT to recall how it all started back in 1973 and then SAT eavesdrops on a rehearsal for the groups 40th Anniversary SAT Concert and talks to the other current members – Rogers SAT Covey Crump, Steven Harrold and Gordon Jones. SAT SAT Wagner 200 - Wagner on Film SAT SAT As BBC Radio 3 continues its celebrations of Wagner’s SAT bicentenary this weekend, writer and broadcaster David SAT Huckvale examines how the composer has been depicted on the SAT screen - big and small - over the last 100 years. Starting SAT with Giuseppe Becce in Carl Fröhlich’s 1913 silent bio-pic, SAT (which will be shown at the Barbican Centre in London on SAT 12th January 2014 with a live piano accompaniment composed SAT and played by Jean Hasse) David charts Wagner’s filmic SAT journey via the 1955 Hollywood film Magic Fire, directed by SAT William Dieterle and starring Alan Badel & Peter Cushing, SAT Ken Russell’s Lisztomania with Paul Nicholas as Wagner, SAT Lyndon Brook’s portrayal in Song Without End through to SAT Richard Burton in Tony Palmer’s epic seven and three quarter SAT hour film from 1983 simply called “Wagner.” SAT SAT Musorgsky and His Circle SAT SAT The extraordinary group of Russian composers who came SAT together in St .Petersburg in the 1860s – the “Mighty SAT Handful” or simply “The Five” Mussorgsky, Borodin, Cui, SAT Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov - gave rise to one of the most SAT intriguing and colourful stories in all musical history. SAT Stephen Walsh, Professor of Music at Cardiff University and SAT author of several books on music talks to Tom about his new SAT book Mussorgsky and His Circle which tells the story of SAT these composers who with no or little musical education SAT created works of lasting significance. Tom is also joined in SAT the studio by Russian music experts David Nice and Marina SAT Frolova- Walker to review the book.

SUN SUN 12:00 Private Passions b03kp1c4 (Listen) SUN Tom Hooper SUN SUN Somehow Tom Hooper has cracked the secret of making films SUN which audiences really love. Whether you count Oscars and SUN Baftas or box office takings he is, at 41, right up there as SUN one of Britain's top film directors. The King's Speech won SUN him four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, SUN and earlier this year his film of Les Miserables won three SUN more Oscars. The box office takings for Les Mis stand at an SUN eyewatering 441.8 million dollars - it's been a hit across SUN the globe, with reports of audiences crying their eyes out SUN in cinemas from Sydney to Japan. SUN SUN Tom Hooper doesn't often give personal interviews, but in SUN Private Passions he talks to Michael Berkeley about his SUN childhood, and about the anxieties and influences which have SUN made him such a successful film director. He reveals that SUN The King's Speech is in fact autobiographical: Tom's mother SUN is Australian and his father is English, and growing up he SUN was very aware that it was his mother's task - and his - to SUN release his father from a particular kind of English SUN inhibition and shyness. Tom Hooper decided to be a film SUN director at 12; he talks entertainingly about his first SUN film, about a runaway dog, and about singing in school SUN musicals, where he discovered a passion for stage lighting, SUN hanging high up above the school auditorium. He loves kit: SUN camera lenses, microphones - he describes the excitement of SUN finding the original microphones used by George V during his SUN wartime broadcasts, and how he used them to record Beethoven SUN for the soundtrack of The King's Speech. He explains too why SUN he made the very brave decision to have all the actors in SUN Les Miserables sing live for the camera. SUN SUN Music choices include Beethoven, Handel, The Beggar's Opera, SUN Janacek, and the Damned.

Mary King reports on the culmination of a unique SUN project partnering young choral writers with lyricists under SUN the tutelage of leading lights from both worlds, and SUN including a recent performance of the newly created works SUN from the University Church of St Mary, Oxford. SUN SUN 17:30 Words and Music b01shy5k (Listen) SUN Richard Wagner: Transformations and Transfigurations SUN SUN The much loved actors Juliet Stevenson and Michael SUN Pennington present a selection of prose and poetry combined SUN with music, evoking the spirit and art of Richard Wagner. SUN SUN As part of BBC Radio 3's bicentennial celebrations of the SUN birth of Richard Wagner, this edition of Words and Music SUN does homage to one of the most outstanding of all Romantic SUN composers - the man, it is claimed, who stands alongside SUN Jesus Christ and Napoleon Bonaparte as having inspired more SUN printed words than anyone else. SUN SUN Transformations and transfigurations; music , memory and SUN myth emerge through the poetry and prose of the SUN "Nibelungenlied"; the works of Paul Verlaine, Charles SUN Baudelaire, Stephane Mallarmé, and Gabriele D'Annunzio; the SUN programme finds the "Wagnerian" in the writings of TS Eliot, SUN DH Lawrence and Oscar Wilde; and gathers homages, portraits SUN and reposts to the "Master" in the words of those who knew SUN him, including Wagner's "Parsifal muse", Judith Gautier; the SUN philosopher Freiderich Nietzsche; and Wagner's wife, Cosima. SUN Each verbal leitmotif is sheathed in the Wagnerian glories SUN that are Tristan, Parsifal, Lohengrin, The Mastersingers and SUN The Ring.

Inspired SUN by the dramas of Aeschylus and the design of ancient Greek SUN amphitheatres, Wagner created a performing space that SUN revolutionised opera production. With its hidden orchestra SUN and studied lack of architectural ornamentation, the theatre SUN was almost "invisible", focusing the attention solely on the SUN stage image. In this, Wagner's radical vision anticipated SUN the immersive experience of cinema. After his death it SUN became a temple to holy German art that became enmeshed in SUN the dark politics of the 1930s only to rise from the ashes SUN after the 2nd World War with renewed vigour. Ever since SUN Wagner's widow took charge after The Master's death, the SUN Festival has been a family business, and like The Ring, the SUN story of the Bayreuth Festival is essentially a family saga. SUN Tom Service talks to Sven Friedrich, head of the Bayreuth SUN museum and archive, as well as other Wagner experts: John SUN Deathridge, Patrick Carnegy, Michael Ewans, Oliver Hilmes SUN and Gundula Kreutzer. SUN SUN Producer: Clive Portbury.

SUN SUN 22:00 Drama on 3 b01shy5p (Listen) SUN One Winter's Afternoon SUN SUN As part of BBC Radio 3's Wagner 200, One Winter's Afternoon SUN tells the story of the great operatic rivalry between SUN Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner in the year marking the SUN bicentenary of their births. In real life, the two great SUN composers never met. SUN SUN Taking as its starting point the death of Wagner, the play SUN travels between two time frames as it explores key moments SUN in their lives, and in imaginary conversations between them SUN about the struggles of creativity. SUN SUN After the triumphant reception of his masterpiece Aida, SUN Verdi has been coaxed out of retirement to write one more SUN work, Otello, but he is struggling with it. As a voice SUN inside Verdi's head, Wagner continues to taunt him, making SUN him fear that Wagner will be remembered as the greater SUN composer. The complex love lives of both composers SUN illustrate how Wagner's ebullient and insensitive nature SUN contrasted with Verdi's angst and more introverted SUN temperament. The recollection of jealous passion does in the SUN end serve to unblock Verdi in his creative despair. SUN SUN The play explores - not without comedy - ageing and SUN creativity, artistic loves and differences, the approach of SUN death and the struggle against it bringing alive the texture SUN of 19th-century Europe, its cultural and political SUN influences.

MON MON For more than a millennium, Iceland's composers have drawn MON upon the sounds of its unique geology: sounds created in a MON glacial, geothermal landscape like nowhere else on earth. MON Searing water explodes from fissures; the earth steams MON spongily underfoot; vast, electric-blue hunks of solid ice MON crack and collide as they bob down otherwise silent fjords. MON Yet Iceland's classical music tradition remains barely MON known. This week, Donald Macleod explores the landscapes and MON vistas of the world's most northerly island nation ? to MON discover its unique musical culture. MON MON Donald begins his travels around Iceland with an exploration MON of its earliest art music ? with Romantic-era songs by the MON lonely doctor Sigvaldi Kaldalóns, whose name means 'cold MON lagoon', and the composer of Iceland's national anthem: MON Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson, who later made his home in MON Edinburgh. He meets the Icelandic musicologist Árni Heimir MON Ingólfsson to discuss the influence of Iceland's ancient MON folk music on its classical tradition, and introduces the MON work of "Iceland's Sibelius" ? the 20th-century composer, MON Jon Leifs.

MON MON 22:45 The Essay b01shyby (Listen) MON Wagner's Philosophers, Wagner and German Idealism MON MON Wagner and German Idealism MON MON Professor Roger Scruton explores the philosophical MON background that influenced the young Richard Wagner. The MON German universities of his youth were in a state of MON intellectual ferment in the aftermath of the greatest MON philosopher of modern times, Immanuel kant. Out of this came MON a school of philosophy known as German Idealism. Wagner was MON particular influenced by the most famous of these MON philosophers, Hegel. And, even though Wagner was later to MON radically revise his philosophical views, the ideas of Hegel MON can still be traced in his great cycle of music dramas, The MON Ring: the notion that nothing human is permanent, and all MON must perish in the spirit's ongoing search for MON self-knowledge. And the essence of this spirit, Hegel MON argued, is freedom. Wagner took this idea one step further. MON Freedom, for Wagner, was not only a political phenomenon, it MON was also a profound spiritual reality, revealed in the MON moment of sacrifice.

TUE TUE For more than a millennium, Iceland's composers have drawn TUE upon the sounds of its unique geology: sounds created in a TUE glacial, geothermal landscape like nowhere else on earth. TUE Searing water explodes from fissures; the earth steams TUE spongily underfoot; vast, electric-blue hunks of solid ice TUE crack and collide as they bob down otherwise silent fjords. TUE Yet Iceland's classical music tradition remains barely TUE known. This week, Donald Macleod explores the landscapes and TUE vistas of the world's most northerly island nation ? to TUE discover its unique musical culture. TUE TUE Jón Leifs' symphonic poem "Geysir" portrays the TUE awe-inspiring geothermal eruption of one of his nation's TUE most famous natural wonders. Donald Macleod pays a visit to TUE Geysir to introduce Leifs' own highly-imaginative musical TUE explosion, before discussing the composer's dramatic, TUE experimental organ concerto ? described by one critic as TUE "like Bach walking on the tundra" ? with the musicologist TUE Árni Heimir Ingólfsson. He ends with a series of pieces by TUE Icelandic music's provocateur-in-chief, the wickedly TUE mischievous Atli Heimir Sveinsson ? a composer able and TUE willing to compose in almost any style, from Baroque to TUE avant-garde to hip hop ? ending with Sveinsson's bizarre and TUE beguiling postmodernist fantasy, "Icelandic Rap".

After the death of the philosopher, Hegel, in 1831, TUE a group of his followers, the Young Hegelians argued that TUE the forces of freedom and reason would continue to conquer TUE everything in their way.

WED Wagner 200 WED WED 22:45 The Essay b01shyvw (Listen) WED Wagner's Philosophers, Wagner and Schopenhauer WED WED Wagner and Schopenhauer WED WED Professor Christopher Janaway on Wagner's life-changing WED encounter with the pessimistic philosophy of Arthur WED Schopenhauer. In 1854 he read Schopenhauer's masterwork, The WED World as Will and Representation; and it hit him like a WED thunderbolt. Wagner discovered a thinker who endorsed his WED own developing views on the role of music and gave him a new WED way to think about his perpetual struggles with desire and WED erotic love. It also convinced him of the futility of WED political agitation. It can be argued that Wagner bent these WED ideas to his own purposes; and that Tristan and Isolde, WED written in the aftermath of this great encounter, is really WED a Schopenhauerian experiment gone wrong: instead of losing WED desire and attachment, the two lovers intensify both to the WED extreme. It was only in his last opera, Parsifal, that WED Wagner finally produced a music drama that seems in many WED respects at peace with the ascetic ideal of his WED philosophical hero, Arthur Schopenhauer.

THU THU For more than a millennium, Iceland's composers have drawn THU upon the sounds of its unique geology: sounds created in a THU glacial, geothermal landscape like nowhere else on earth. THU Searing water explodes from fissures; the earth steams THU spongily underfoot; vast, electric-blue hunks of solid ice THU crack and collide as they bob down otherwise silent fjords. THU Yet Iceland's classical music tradition remains barely THU known. This week, Donald Macleod explores the landscapes and THU vistas of the world's most northerly island nation ? to THU discover its unique musical culture. THU THU Having survived the traumas of the Second World War, the THU life of Iceland's leading composer, Jón Leifs was to fall THU apart in 1947 after his daughter Líf drowned in the sea. THU Donald Macleod explores the legacy of this tragedy on his THU music with the musicologist Árni Heimir Ingólfsson before THU meeting one of Icelandic contemporary music's most important THU figures: the record producer and composer Valgeir THU Sigurðsson, whose music seems to transcend genre THU classifications such 'popular', 'classical', 'ambient' and THU 'electronica'.

Alvaro appears on the balcony to flee THU with Leonora but is interrupted by the Marquis. Alvaro gives THU himself up and throws his pistol on the floor but it goes THU off killing the Marquis. Alvaro and Leonora flee and are on THU the run for nearly a decade before fate finally catches up THU with them. THU This first version of Verdi's drama with its romantically THU gloomy denouement was a huge success in St Petersburg but THU Verdi had his doubts, writing to Piave his librettist that THU they must 'think of a way of avoiding so many deaths.'

THU THU Live from City Halls, Glasgow THU Presented by Jamie MacDougall THU THU Beethoven: Symphony No 4 in B flat THU Shostakovich: Violin Concerto No 1 THU THU James Ehnes (violin) THU BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra THU Donald Runnicles THU THU Written in 2009, this masterpiece by John Adams was first THU suggested by reading the "dream" books by Kevin Starr, THU painting a picture of 1940s Los Angeles as possessing "a THU certain sassy, savvy energy. It was, among other things, a THU Front Page kind of town where life was lived by many on the THU edge, and that made for good copy and good film noir". His THU piece doesn't refer to the soundtracks of those films - but THU evokes the mood and feeling of the era. You'll hear Jazz, THU Symphonic and American music, jumping from high to low THU energy - and the city can be imagined "as a source of THU inexhaustible sensual experience". THU THU Paired with Beethoven's dazzlingly bright Fourth Symphony THU written in 1806, and the ominous twilight of Shostakovich's THU tormented First Violin Concerto, started in 1947, played by THU the quite simply brilliant James Ehnes, this is an evening THU not to miss. THU THU 20:40 Discovering Music b03kpdhg (Listen) THU John Adams - City Noir THU THU Composed in 2009, John Adams's "City Noir" is a dark, THU brooding, jazz-inflected tribute to the film noir. The THU composer's primary inspiration was urban California in the THU 1950s - from Sunset Boulevard to Macarthur Park - and his THU score seethes with barely-repressed energy. Stephen Johnson THU explores its murky musical pages.

Out of THU their heady late-night chats about Schopenhauer, Euripedes THU and Socrates came Nietzsche's first book, The Birth of THU Tragedy out of the Spirit of Music. The relationship was to THU darken and turn sour in later years when Nietzsche accused THU Wagner of "slobbering at the foot of the cross" in his final THU opera, Parsifal. But to the end Nietzsche was to regard his THU encounter with Wagner as one of the most important events of THU his life.

With archive FRI interviews and music from Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, FRI Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the praise poet Mzwakhe Mbuli. FRI FRI We know little of Mandela's personal taste in music, but he FRI certainly recognised the value of music in the struggle FRI against apartheid. Whether it was raising awareness in the FRI international community, or raising morale in South Africa FRI itself, music not only reflected but also influenced the FRI events of the time. The programme embraces the 1950s and the FRI music of the Manhattan Brothers, the music of the exiles in FRI the 1960s and 70s, the songs of the activists, the many FRI 'Free Mandela' songs of the 1980s, and the music that FRI celebrated the end of apartheid and the birth of the Rainbow FRI Nation. And Andy recalls the time when he once - FRI accidentally - met Nelson Mandela. FRI
